Shinola's latest Monster wraps the case in forged carbon
The watch's forged carbon case is stronger than steel yet is lighter than plastic.
Shinola
Shinola introduces its later Monster dive watch with a model inspired by the Black Beach of northern Minnesota. What's really interesting about this model is that they've chosen to use forged carbon, a material that is created by chopping up carbon fiber into small pieces and then mixing it with resin. It then goes into a step that involves intense heat and pressure to create a marble-like material that is stronger than steel or titanium. The 45mm watch also features an SW200-1 automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve, and it includes both a leather-lined orange nylon strap and a black rubber strap.
